Hello, It’s Allo

Hello, It’s Allo: Google has released its messaging platform Allo earlier this week. Allo is nice and most advanced messaging platform yet as it introduces many features like Smart Replies, Larger Text, Sticker, Doodle In Picture, Security and Messaging Assistant. Allo is the direct reply from Google to WhatsApp and Apple’s iMessage as both these messaging platform have million of user active in each and very second, while Google also wants to build a platform where each and everyone and connect to everyone with a single platform.

Allo is made on a vision of smart messaging platform which knows all your response during the phase of usage and provides smart solution option when you need. Google Assistant made a nice appearance in but we can’t able to describe Google Assistant function in this article we have a separate one for it but we’ll cover each and every part of it in a separate article. So let’s further ado lets get started.

Hello, It’s Allo

Security

Security is the main reason we use the safe messaging platform and Allo also include great encryption capabilities with E2E encryption of message so your message remains safe during the sending procedure. Allo encrypts the message as text leaves your device then it reaches to Google server and then to the receiver but Google won’t check these messages and the encrypted finally reaches its destination. So this in terms of security you’ll be safe for using Allo.

Incognito Mode

Google finally brings Chrome safer way of browsing the internet to Allo. Incognito helps the user to send a message to another user anonymously and the message will destroy themselves when chat time is over.

Smart Replies

This feature is an essential factor for Allo as this feature allow Allo collect user messaging details and provide suggestion according to it. This means that Google is tracking user messaging pattern so terms of safety in terms of Smart Replies feature somehow vanishes.

As Google does not provide any assurance about this issue so using Allo not safe for some important topics as someone is tracking it.

Experience

Using Allo gives really nice experience but somehow lack in minor feature which is available in iMessage on iOS 10. As new iMessage have more nice experience than Allo as new App Store gives more possibilities to messaging platform, iMessage is far safer than Allo as no one is tracking, a new feature in iMessage is far better than Allo, One Apps solution and much more.

So the comparison between iMessage and Allo is another matter of discussion while we’ll also introduce new article based on both of these soon.

Setting up Allo is a really easy process as you simply swipe and register your phone number and you are good to go. Allo tracks who are using Allo and you can simply distinguish between them and send a message while you can send a message for an invite for App.
